As a child I grew up with a house full of Golden Retrievers; I often used to escape school (when I wasn’t supposed to!), collect my dogs from home and walk them for miles! As soon as I could, I left school and was offered a job in a veterinary surgery. Here I got interested in dog behaviour and decided that was the path for me.

I qualified as a canine behaviour consultant and dog trainer in 1999, then worked in training kennels and rescue centres training dogs until I founded Herts Canine in 2004.

I have been lucky enough to work with dogs on a full time basis ever since. In the past I have owned Rottweilers, Labradors, St Bernards and German Short Haired Pointers. I currently own a Golden Retriever and 7 Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds.

I specialise with dogs that have any type of behaviour problem from mild to the extreme! I am very conscious that no dog, no owner and no household is the same. What works for one dog will not necessarily work for the next! The thousands of dogs and owners I have helped have all been different and I thrive on helping owners and dogs solve their problems.
